On 22nd July 1941 a public meeting was called of women interested in the formation of a Club to foster public speaking amongst women. The first President was Miss Ruth Don OAM. The three original Founders of Forum, Lady Groom, Mrs Marjorie Puregger and Miss Ruth Don remained active members throughout their lifetime.

During 1945 a movement grew for the establishment of further clubs and the organisation grew throughout Queensland. It became apparent that a supervising committee would be necessary and in October 1947 the Association of Queensland Women's Forum Clubs was formed, known as the Dais and eventually regional councils were formed. In 1997 the name was changed to Forum Communicators Association Inc.

In 2004 there are 23 Forums in various locations in Queensland and the organisation described itself as: 'an organisation for you to increase your self esteem and gain confidence through learning specific skills; effective communication; club administration; chairing meetings; leadership; the duties of office bearers - all in an atmosphere of support and encouragement.'
